Hi Support and Community,

Is adding the Day of the Week posiible to the string message?Let`s say the message looks like this:

"Message generated at 11.07.2013 18:00:11"

Is it possible to add the name of the Day - Friday,Monday,etc...?

You can format a date however you want.

Suppose you have a DateTime object dt whose value indicates the generation time of the message. Then you need to format the message like this:

string message = "Message generated at " + dt.ToString("[B]dddd[/B], MM.dd.yyyy HH:mm:ss");

The message will look like: "Message generated at Friday, 11.07.2013 18:00:11"

Or you can directly access the day-of-week value by using:

dt.DayOfWeek

Hi Koganam,

thanks for your reply.I`m confused a bit with this line: DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2008, 8, 29, 19, 27, 15);

Console.WriteLine(date1.ToString("dddd dd MMMM",
CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US")));
// Displays Friday 29 August


In the message.Do i have to specify the Year as well?

You can learn from these examples:

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/19677/Formats-for-DateTime-ToString

DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
String strDate="";
strDate = dt.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"); // 07/21/2007
strDate = dt.ToString("dddd, dd MMMM yyyy"); //Saturday, 21 July 2007
strDate = dt.ToString("dddd, dd MMMM yyyy HH:mm"); // Saturday, 21 July 2007 14:58
strDate = dt.ToString("dddd, dd MMMM yyyy hh:mm tt"); // Saturday, 21 July 2007 03:00 PM
strDate = dt.ToString("dddd, dd MMMM yyyy H:mm"); // Saturday, 21 July 2007 5:01
strDate = dt.ToString("dddd, dd MMMM yyyy h:mm tt"); // Saturday, 21 July 2007 3:03 PM
strDate = dt.ToString("dddd, dd MMMM yyyy HH:mm:ss"); // Saturday, 21 July 2007 15:04:10
strDate = dt.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm"); // 07/21/2007 15:05
strDate = dt.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt"); // 07/21/2007 03:06 PM
strDate = dt.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy H:mm"); // 07/21/2007 15:07
strDate = dt.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy h:mm tt"); // 07/21/2007 3:07 PM
strDate = dt.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss"); // 07/21/2007 15:09:29
strDate = dt.ToString("MMMM dd"); // July 21
strDate = dt.ToString("yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss.fffffffK"); // 2007-07-21T15:11:19.1250000+05:30
strDate = dt.ToString("ddd, dd MMM yyyy HH':'mm':'ss 'GMT'"); // Sat, 21 Jul 2007 15:12:16 GMT
strDate = dt.ToString("yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss"); // 2007-07-21T15:12:57
strDate = dt.ToString("HH:mm"); // 15:14
strDate = dt.ToString("hh:mm tt"); // 03:14 PM
strDate = dt.ToString("H:mm"); // 5:15
strDate = dt.ToString("h:mm tt"); // 3:16 PM
strDate = dt.ToString("HH:mm:ss"); // 15:16:29
strDate = dt.ToString("yyyy'-'MM'-'dd HH':'mm':'ss'Z'"); // 2007-07-21 15:17:20Z
strDate = dt.ToString("dddd, dd MMMM yyyy HH:mm:ss"); // Saturday, 21 July 2007 15:17:58
strDate = dt.ToString("yyyy MMMM"); // 2007 July

Hi NinZa,

I have the following line in the code:

string body = subject + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + "Message generated at " + Time[0];
SendMail( fromEmailAddress, emailAddress, subject, body );


adding the " dt.ToString("dddd, MM.dd.yyyy HH:mm:ss");" generates errors.

Hi NinZa,

I have the following line in the code:

string body = subject + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + "Message generated at " + Time[0];
SendMail( fromEmailAddress, emailAddress, subject, body );


adding the " dt.ToString("dddd, MM.dd.yyyy HH:mm:ss");" generates errors.

In your case, Time[0] must replace the dt variable. Therefore, your code needs to be changed to:

DateTime dt = Time[0];
string body = subject + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + "Message generated at " + dt.ToString("dddd, MM.dd.yyyy HH:mm:ss");
SendMail( fromEmailAddress, emailAddress, subject, body );

Hope this helps

Hi,

The code produces day names like these: Friday, Monday, Tuesday... Only the first letter is capitalized.

If you want day names to be all in capital (FRIDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY...), please change your code to:

DateTime dt = Time[0];
string time = dt.DayOfWeek.ToString().ToUpper() + ", " + dt.ToString("MM.dd.yyyy HH:mm:ss");
string body = subject + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + "Message generated at " + time;
SendMail( fromEmailAddress, emailAddress, subject, body );
